Description

Leginon stores the list of magnifications available on each instrument in the database. pyscope uses that list to get/set magnification by index. That way the correct mag is get/set if the screen is up or down. GIF switches to EFTEM mode, which has a different list of magnifications. We need to find a way to have get/set magnification to work in any mode, even if the magnification list is different.

The MagnificationsData table is not able to handle different modes. It stores one list of mags for each TEM. One row contains the entire list of mags. This table should be normalized to a table with one row per mag. Columns would be: instrument, mag, index, mode, etc. The index that pyscope and tecnai scripting needs could be queried regardless of what mode the scope is in.
